What is the difference between Vietnam and Iran? Trump had a plan for getting out of Vietnam. Dark humor, but it points to a very real and tragic reality. People died, our soldiers died, children died. Mothers, fathers, people died. Now people are dying again. Little girls at their school, our soldiers, the same list of people are dying again. Yes, there have been a few very evil men killed also.

Do you know who is not dying? The same people who are not concerned with the price of gas and food. The same people with golden healthcare plans. Trump, his family, Hegseth and the rest of the people kneeling at the wannabe king’s feet and powerful people with lots of money.

Hegseth is directing congress to put two hundred billion dollars extra in the military budget “because it takes money to kill bad guys.” Two billion dollars could cover a lot of healthcare, a lot of school lunches, a lot for people who are in need.

So, what is the plan to get out of Iran? What is the plan to care for the hungry, the sick, the needy? Both seem to have been given little thought other than to satisfy the toy soldiers who are safe and comfortable in Washington, D.C., with full refrigerators and golden healthcare plans.
